Bey's longtime make-up artist Sir John opted for a golden, glowy beauty look inspired by Nala's eyes for the London premiere of The Lion King. "Nala’s eyes mesmerized me, and I thought, how can I translate this into wearable glam?!” he stated.

Queen Bey has totally revamped her hair for autumn and we are loving the rich brown hue with soft highlights around her face. Is there anything this woman can't pull off?

Beyoncé's natural curls are back! Her colourist, Rita Hazan, tells GLAMOUR, "It’s wonderful for me as a colourist because she is showing that it’s possible for ethnic girls to have natural hair and still look amazing as blondes.”

Another day, another slay - that's just how it goes when you're Beyoncé. Take a moment to let the gorgeous-ness of this golden goddess makeup sink in. The honey curls are also giving us life.

How amazing is this Rapunzel-esque braid? It's super high, super long and super sleek...

... and it looks gorgeous from the back, too!

Bey sat court side with Jay-Z at the 2016 US Open Tennis Championships. She sported glossy nude lips and a chic half-up, half-down 'do.

How glorious in Bey's beauty look for the 2016 VMAs - we love the plait, it's simple and relaxed. You wouldn't want to clash with the feather wings now, would you?

Queen Bey continued her reign with this subtle side-swept look, which she combined with pared-down makeup and a bold coral and pink outfit.

All eyes were on Beyoncé’s sheer gown at the 2015 Met Gala, but her hair and make-up caught our eye, too. The singer posed the house down in a super high ponytail and statement feline liner flicks for her turn on the red carpet.

Bey’s mermaid waves were one of the talking points of the red carpet at the 2015 Grammys and looked utterly splendid against her chic embellished gown.

Arriving at Gare du Nord station in Paris, we couldn't help but notice that there was something a little different about Beyoncé - her hair, of course! Queen Bey sported tousled long waves complete with a super short blunt fringe. We kinda love it!

After wrapping up her 2014 On The Run tour with hubby Jay-Z, Bey debuted this soft and natural new look - a jaw-skimming bob! We're already big fans of it, too.

For a charity appearance in 2015, Beyonce brought glamour and natural beauty, thanks to her minimal make-up look (just a sweep of liner here) and soft undone waves.

Sitting pretty courtside, BK makes this appearance all about the hair. A side-swept voluminous tumbling style sets Bey apart from her f-row counterparts. No heavy make-up required for this look.

At the 2014 Met Gala in May, Beyonce opted for a powerful beauty look. A strong claret lip was set off perfectly thanks to a minimal eye look and a beaded half veil. Flawless.

Filming a music video in NYC in 2013, Beyonce works a blonde wavy long bob with dark roots.

Beyoncé brought back the braids in 2012! Stepping out with adorable Blue Ivy, the singer looks gorgeous with a statement-making braided beehive bun. We love!

In 2012 Beyoncé had just been named the most beautiful woman in the world, so she must be doing something (/everything) right. We adore this soft, feminine hairstyle on her.

New mum Beyoncé looks sleek and chic with a swept-back on-trend ponytail at a dinner with Michelle Obama. Bee finishes the look with soft, smoky eye make-up and a glossy pink pout.

Beyoncé keeps things simple but chic with a super-glossy side-plait. We love her golden blonde hair hue and laid-back style.

Beyoncé works long, voluminous curls at a 2011 New York Fashion Week event. The mum-to-be looked more radiant than ever with this two-tone style.

We love this simple side-swept style on the pop diva. Beyoncé adds a touch of molten silver eye shadow to the inner corners of her lids for extra sparkle.

Lady Bee lets a little colour show at her roots, with a perfectly-faded colour reaching white at the tips. A glossy pink lip is Beyoncé's beauty signature.

It's 2011 and we're Crazy In Love with this blonde afro hairstyle.

Looking for some hair inspiration? Add some extra volume to your locks like Glasto queen Beyoncé. We're SO jealous of her voluminous blonde curls in this pic.

Beyoncé doesn't worry about a messy hair day: she works in some attitude and turns it into an awesome hair day.

Beyoncé amps up the volume with some fully-loaded waves and oodles of root-lift.

Over the years, we've seen dozens of Beyoncé styles, and she pulls this long blonde 'do off perfectly. Having the face and body of an angel helps, of course.

We love Beyoncé's glossy blonde crimp-curls framing her face. Take a leaf out of her book and whenever you go for an easy updo always make sure a few strands of hair fall loose around your face.

Proving that she can use her beauty for good, Beyoncé opened the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center in NYC, which is a centre to help people on substance misuse rehab learn the art of hairdressing and beauty therapy.

Making a surprise appearance on NBC’s Today show in 2010 to promote her mum’s new fashion line, Miss Tina, Beyoncé leaves her curls loose and sports minimal make-up.

Celebrating her one- year anniversary, Mrs Jay Z goes for a natural look with an on-trend blunt fringe, long locks, nude make-up and big shades – simple city chic.

It’s clear that Beyoncé knows the power of good hair and so at a benefit for the Women’s Cancer Research Fund at Saks Fifth Avenue, she opts for a chic and sophisticated princess ponytail and subtle make-up – perfect.

In 2008 Beyoncé appeared at the MTV Total Request Live show with sweet girl-next-door half-up hairstyle and soft, metallic eyes.

Taking a leaf out of Christina Aguilera’s book, Beyoncé debuts a long, wavy, luxe hairstyle, dramatically swept over to one side, diva-style.

Even with a simple ponytail and basic make-up Beyoncé looks stunning. Yes, we're just a little jealous...

Oh my. Those lashes! Beyoncé gives the camera her best side (er, aren’t all her sides her best?!), fluttering her long lashes and working lengthy Marcel waves.

It’s pretty fair to say that when it comes to the red carpet, Beyoncé knows how to work it. We love this sleek high ponytail with a little hair-knot at the top, teamed with hot metallic make-up.

Before her performance on MTV’s Total Request Live, Beyoncé poses backstage working a pre-make-up, soft, girlie look. Ladies, take note of this fabulous hairstyle – despite deep, dark roots Beyoncé still works a gorgeous ‘do.

A lush, chocolate brown weave with Farrah Fawcett waves – such a good look. How long do you reckon Beyoncé must spend with her hairdresser?

Classy lady! Beyoncé works a classic red carpet look at The 47th Annual Grammy Awards in LA with a high, curled-under ponytail and gorgeous metallic smoky eyes – and check out the super-groomed eyebrows.

Beyoncé debuts a completely new style at the Fashion Rocks night in 2004 with a blonde retro ‘do.

We guess Beyoncé was going for a sunny California look here but the blonde curly locks and shiny, pastel make-up is a look we’d expect to see on Jessica Simpson, not bootylicious Beyoncé.

By the end of the 2004 Grammys Beyoncé had shown off the FIVE Grammys she won and gorgeous purple smoky eyes, nude pink lips and an elaborate up-do decorated with jewels – a winning look!

At The Fighting Temptations US film premier, Beyoncé went for a look we hadn't seen before, the Grecian goddess with a high bun and plait around the crown. With show-stopping hair like this the silver-blue eye make-up and pink gloss were just enough - and check out the awesome earrings!

And, pose! Working that camera Beyoncé looks fabulous at the 16th Annual Essence Awards in LA, sporting a perfectly sleek ladylike bun and a classic combination of peach cheeks/lips and smoky grey eyes – a look that she worked in her second film The Fighting Temptations, in which her performance and soundtrack contributions were critically acclaimed.

All the women, who independent, throw your hands up at me, all the honeys, who makin' money, throw your hands up at me... Going for Bollywood-style beauty at the 2003 London premier of Charlie’s Angels, for which Destiny’s Child wrote and performed the theme tune, Beyoncé works a darker, more glowy foundation, ruby cheeks and dark eye shadow.

PA Photos

It was 2002, it was London Arena, and it was Destiny's Child on tour, so we forgive the über-curly frizz-ball of hair.

In 2001 yet more hair experimentation followed with very blonde extensions. Still gorgeous, but dare we say, a little heavy on the make-up? But Destiny’s Child were storming the charts the world over and Beyoncé was the one that everyone wanted to look like.

LeToya Luckett left the group to pursue a solo career and Destiny’s Child became three. Already Beyoncé stood out not just for her singing but for her striking looks, with her long straightened hair and amazing bone structure.
